THE AMERICAN HOME INTERIOR: Treatment and Transformation

Kerrington Adams, a historic preservation specialist from the Cleveland Restoration Society, explores the ever evolving interior of the American home over one fascinating century, from the 1850s to the 1950s. Major emphasis is placed on stylistic trends from Greek Revival, Victorian Aesthetic Period, Arts & Crafts, Colonial Revival and Mid-Century Modern. If you own an old house and are in the midst of your own transformation, you’ve probably wondered about appropriate treatments and furnishings. Come and find new sources of inspiration for your period interior!

MEET THE AUTHOR: “I Was a Middle-Aged Ghost Researcher” Spooky Tales of Shore and Sea from Charles Cassady

The author of Cleveland Ghosts and Paranormal Great Lakes: An Illustrated Encyclopedia will lurch about our auditorium in a trance, emit human-sounding moans and suppress his hunger for fresh brains for at least an hour. He’ll also discuss his books about local ghosts and supernatural traditions. Bring your questions, sightings and gris-gris to this poorly lit and ominous lecture. Books will be available for sale and signing at the event.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

SPOOKY MOVIE!

Young Frankenstein (1974) Directed by Mel Brooks Rated PG
A brilliant young surgeon inherits a dark foreboding castle. To prove that his grandfather wasn’t insane, he’ll consult forbidden knowledge and unleash powerful forces—all to create a monster! If this isn’t a great set-up for a comedy classic, we’ll eat our abnormal brains. Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr and Cloris Leachman star in this black and white beauty, shot on the sets of the original 1931 Frankenstein!
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium
